Being as Baton Rouge is near me, we are pretty much aware of what is going on.
The local blacks have been protesting calmly and peacefully, not blocking roads and staying where they are told to.
Now then, now the BLM has shown up and we hope they do not start shit like they did in Ferguson, making the locals look bad.
From what we have seen on the video, which was shot by a group of people who follow police scanners and show up at the scene to take images, there was no excuse we could see to shoot the man multiple times.
The police confiscated the video from the convenience store before the store owner had even had a chance to view it.
How many times have cops done that in the past? Numerous times.....
Anyhow, the group that shot the video waited and waited to see if the police would be transparent and release the vid from store
When no one ever did, they posted their video to social media.
And that is when everyone started questioning WTH happened.
As I said tho, so far, the locals have been calmly protesting, following orders of where they can be and not to block roads.
Just hope the outsiders don't try to instigate anything, causing mayhem when there is no need for it.
On a side note....
Last year there was a shooting in another town just north of B.R.
An autistic 6 yr old white boy was shot and killed when 2 black deputy marshalls shot into a vehicle to get at the driver, not knowing the kid was in there
Those 2 were arrested and charged.
However, there is politics at play here and behind the scenes grumbling of who gets to do what in that town....Casino town BTW.
So even tho it is similar in a way, it is not, even tho some in B.R. are trying to compare to it.
Here is an article on the Marksville shooting
Inside small-town Louisiana feud that led to a 6-year-old boy’s police killing
And yes, we work around that area a lot too.
In fact, that is the town where our tire came off our trailer when the tire bearings froze up. :smallundecided:
The Fire Dept. there is great, I must say!!
